and bad leadership from president obama is to be blame. in the last four years almost every important budget deadline has been met with impasse and little has been done to enact a responsible budget. systematic failure to perform the basic responsibilities of governing has led us to the catastrophic sequestration we see today. president obama came up with this idea for the sequester as a temporary solution to another fiscal crisis in 2011. as we have been saying for months, house republicans are the only ones who have taken action to balance the budget. the last congress the house passed two bills. the sequester replacement and reconciliation act, and the spending reduction act. however in recent remarks at the white house, president obama attempted to blame house republicans who control only one half of 1/3 of the government for the looming cuts. if there is going to be a solution, president obama is going to have to work with his own political party in the senate and negotiate with the house. yet all the president has done so far is call
